Traffic Safety Week
From today until Friday the Daily Trojan will attempt to save a Trojan’s life.
Each year, just before the Christmas racation, the DT proclaims Traffic Safety Week, a time during which we turn mr efforts toward making better, more careful drivers of SC students. We do this because we want every Trojan to en-(jov the holidays and to return to the university safe and sound at the beginning >f the new year.
In our campaign we will present facts ind figures showing that a little concentration on safe driving will cut down the :amage that regularly accompanies the loliday season. We hope to show when, p.here, and why traffic “accidents” happen, and we hope to show how they can prevented.
To impress you with these facts, as we ire impressed, we will publish pictures.
cartoons, news stories, feature articles, and editorials pointing out what happens when careless drivers bathe our streets with more blood than is spilled on any battlefield.
If the material we have to offer isn’t pleasant, we can only say that the pain and death you can cause with your car aren’t pleasant either. If you are shocked by the scenes we picture, we can only say that a reckless moment behind the wheel can add to them the screams of maimed children or the smell of burning flesh.
With it all we hope to give you something which will stick in the back of your mind during the holidays — something which will keep you alert when driving and make your foot lighter on the gas pedal and quicker on the brake.
In fact—
We hope to save YOUR life.

Hot Rod Driver Killed
is by r. p. Casey, budget COSTA MESA, Calif., Dec. 10—Hot rod driver Richard tree tor. and Richard d. Mo- M. Gilbert. 29, was injured fatally today when his car overuse, auditor, in the ticket office turned during a race on an air strip at Orange county airport.
Gilbert’s car was nearing the finish line when it began to weave and rolled over. He was the father of four chil-- dren.
First prices, then wages, now tuition.
The cost of learning, like the cost of living, has been caught in the price spiral of our present-day economy, said President Fred D. Fagg Jr. as he addressed more than 1200 students and faculty members in Bovard auditorium Friday morning.
University costs, including everything from “books to frogs,” have risen sharply in the last few years, and the only way that we can offset these costs is out of the balance for the forthcoming year, Dr. Fagg said.
SC Not Rich
“Contrary to common belief, SC is not a rich institution,” he said.
“SC’s endowment is only a little more than $2 million, and the annual income from it is just $21,000 a year. This is what 42 students would pay in tuition,” he added.
Stanford university has $50 million in endowment funds, and even I Pomona college has more capital than SC, he said. Yet, tuition at; both of these private institutions is more than SC will start charg-; ing next fall, he said.
Stanford Up, Too
An increase of $20 per quarter, effective this semester, was put into effect at Stanford, making undergraduate tuition there $660 a year.
Various other private schools at which tuition is higher than at SC include Pomona college, $600; Cal Tech. $600; Columbia, $620; Cornell. $680; Harvard, $655; Princeton, $700; and Yale. $623.
Budget Up
“An average yearly budget before the war was $4 million; last year the budget was $13 million. Faculty and staff salaries alone accounted for $4,630,000 of this,” he said.
Dr. Fagg also blamed the drop in enrollment for contributing to the financial woes of the university.
5000 Graduated
“In June of this year we graduated approximately 5000 students, which was one-tenth of all the graduates of the past 70 years. This is the largest group ever to graduate from SC and will probably be the largest for several years,” he said.
“The Korean crisis has meant that many potential freshmen are now being taken into the armed forces, and many ex-GIs in reserve units are being called back into the service,” he said.
Who Knows?
“No one knows what the impact of the national emergency will be on colleges and universities.” Dr. Fagg said. “The draft

Not Accidents, But Violations Cause Deaths
There are no December traffic accidents.”
“The injuries and deaths that will mar our holiday season will be caused occurrences, and they can be eliminated,” said Deputy Chief Bernard R. Caldwell, commander of the Traffic bureau of the Los Angeles Police department.
“Death and injuries on our city streets,” said Caldwell, “occur as a result of traffic violations. Traffic laws are merely safety rules, rules of courteous and safe traffic conduct. Disregard these rules and someone’s holiday may be visited with death.”
The Traffic bureau has listed the following rules for safety during December:
1. Double your caution. Reduced visibility, wet streets, intoxicated drivers and pedestrians are but a few of the hazards the holiday season will present to unwary drivers.
2. Reduce your speed. A shorter stopping distance will materially increase your safety.
3. Never drive after drinking. Your chances of being involved in an accident will be 55 times as great if you drink and then drive.
4. Let the other fellow have the right-of-way. Don’t dispute the roadway with the driver who is in a hurry. Perhaps your courtesy will become contagious.
5. Watch out for pedestrians. DDT could stand for “Deadly Demay take all of our entering fresh- cember Traffic.” A foolish pedes-men next fall. Every university can trian could ruin your holiday, es-be hit harder than it was at the Specially if YOU were the pedes-start of World War II.” trian.
Increase in tuition and fees, effective Sept. 1, 1951, were an nounced Friday by President Fred D. Fagg Jr.
The increases, established by action of the Board of Trustees this week, were made necessary by the continually rising costs with which the University is faced, Fagg said.
Tuition per unit for all schools except dentistry, law, library science, religion, and medicine will be $18 for undergraduate students and $20 for graduate students. Present tuition is $16 per unit for both graduates and undergraduates.
Below Stanford
Despite the new cost, SC’s tuition fees will still be below those of other major private universities such as Stanford, Cal Tech, Columbia, and Cornell, it was pointed out.
Dental students will pay $300 per semester starting next fall in stead of $250. Dental hygiene courses wiil be $225 per semester instead of $190.
In the law school, 10 units or more will cost $280 per semester. The present fee is $250. For each unit over 15 per semester, a new charge of $25 will be made. Less than 10 units will cost $30 per unit with a minimum of $175 per semester. This is a raise of $5 per unit. The minimum charge is new. Summer session course in law will be $30 per unit instead of $25.
Library Science
Library science will be $250 per semester for 12 to 15 units. This flat fee will be new in this school, whifh has been charging $16 per unit.
In the medical school, the curriculum for the MD degree will be $375 per semester instead of $300 Graduate (other than MD > course No. 500 and above will be $30 per unit rather than the present $20.
School of Religion
There will be no increase in the School of Religion for graduate work for the degrees of Master of Religious Education, Master of Theology, and Doctor of Theology. Ten units or more will remain $40 per semester, and less than 10 units will stay at $30 per semester.
Dissertation fees will be $75 per semester for seminars and $75 for publication. Since two seminars must be taken, this means that the total for the Doctor of Philosophy degree will be $225 instead of $150.

Students questioned in an opinion suney by the DT last Friday felt the impending increase in tuition is justified in view7 of present conditions, but will work hardships on many students.
They feel the hardest hit will be family-supporting veterans attending SC under the GI Bill of Rights, whose annual allowance of $500. does not even now with the present tuition rates cover the costs of their boox^.
Many of those interviewed said they would have to augment their GI allowance with outside, income in order to remain in school.

While no interviewee disputed the necessity for the tuition increase, some objected to the ways in which some of the funds are now being spent.
Duke Sargent, political science major stated, “I would prefer to see the money now spent to keep the Trojan band in fancy uniforms be spent on books for the library.

the higher tuition rate, but I think it would be a good idea if a few pennies of the increase were used to give SC a diploma worthy of such a school. The one issued now can’t compare favorably with even a high school diploma.’
Maggie Lemon, social science major, believes the university should have tried to raise the needed revenue by means other than a tuition increase, but did not suggest what that means might be.

Foreign trades major Victor Ren, who plans to graduate in January said: “If the professors don't foul me up, the increase may cause me to “shop around” before enrolling for graduate work.
